Good, because you will push your limits down here - we all do and that's what makes it so fun.

I expect as much. I sense the terrain won't give me much of a choice. If i wanted to ride flat singletrack with limited features i'd stay home

You won't see much flat here. You may be like a lot of people I've guided, they find their local trails boring after riding here.

That's what happened after i got back from skiing colorado a couple of years ago. Holiday Valley NY and Seven Springs PA (the only 2 places worth skiing within 3 hours of me) just don't cut it anymore.

Well I'm not too worried about that...we're pretty spoiled for trails around here too...the only problem is that I've only ridden once in the past month due to being up north for work! I gotta get back in the groove so I'm ready!

Yeah, looking at you pics you've got some awsome trails in your neck of the woods. I was kinda wondering where you've been. Did you get up with Sycamore Cycles or do I need to set something up for ya? Good to hear from you.

I may eat dirt, but it will be sweet NC dirt that you yourself won't be eating.

I win

I haven't talked to them yet...so I guess I should do that tomorrow.

Flak, I'll be riding a rented Enduro...I'm sure we can trade for a bit of you want to try out a dually...but you will have to give it back...life is much more fun with full suspension!

I see. I was going to offer to pick you up if you wanted to save money on a rental car, but sounds like you've got it figured out.

No bacon of any kind for me, but I'd sure like to see how good that salsa Lowcel makes is.

Mtnbiker66 and I oftne survive off of peanut butter and jelly. Don't worry, we are close enough to the real world that we can run out and get anything we need. There are also lots of good places to eat close by if you want to eat out.
